Dataset description

Datasets of __hydro energy potential __are Downloadable as GIS shapefiles. Two Spatial reference systems are applied to the Downloadable shapefiles: Irish transverse Mercator (ITM) and WGS 84 (EPSG:3857). A 1985 study provided the raw data and technical terms in its glossary ([link](https://seaiopendata.blob.core.windows.net/hydro/DOE_1985_Small%20Scale%20Hydro-Electric%20Potential%20of%20Ireland.pdf)). Important terms are: Head: The level difference between the water surface at intake and trailrace of a Turbine. Tailrace: The discharge channel from a Turbine or waterwheel before rejoining the main river channel. The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) offers the same data in its Hydro Mapping System, a digital map of Ireland’s hydro energy connections and potential resources (http://gis.seai.ie/hydro). __References__ Small-scale Hydro-electric Potential of Ireland, Department of Energy, 1985. https://seaiopendata.blob.core.windows.net/hydro/DOE_1985_Small%20Scale%20Hydro-Electric%20Potential%20of%20Ireland.pdf

Questions before production use

Practical answers on evaluation, licensing, freshness, versioning and support.

api.store is built and operated by Apitalks s.r.o. Company details and a direct contact path are linked in the footer for vendor checks and procurement review.
Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.
Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
